I had seen an observation by a Freeper that we are being thrown a "red herring". With this I would wholeheartedly agree. I wonder what "genius" is now chuckling at these entries and subsequent detective work? Possibly some lurker out there.
Now it is maybe just me, but unless someone noticed this, the letter K in Barack seems to be changed- one a capital letter and another the correct small letter. Foolery at work here. In my case it is good for the mind. Keeps one active in that department. As is said, the real question is never mind the newspaper, where is the true copy of the long form?
I shudder to think the uses of such a true copy would have to the unscrupulous who might pressure such a pure spirit as the President- elect. (Chuckle)
Amended birth certificates in Hawaii contain everything the original did except for the incorrect items having a line drawn through them and the amendments clearly identified as amendments. The procedure does not allow for throwing away the original and sticking another document into the typewriter. All changes are evident.
